Specifially the number you call to opt out of telemarketing calls. When I checked with our local Telco they said it looked like somone has been "spoofing" that number.
They have a lot of guts to use that number. I did file a report with the CPA. I doubt if anything will come of it, but the calls have stopped. before that we had it call about 19 times in 3 days.
ATTITUDE: It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Spoofing the CID is illegal if you try to represent yourself as that person (phone fraud). | | | | Forums95 Topics94,290 Posts639,135 Members49,425 | | Most Online5,661
